when condensing this expression why is the answer ln5.
ln25-ln5
ln 25 = ln 5^2 = 2 ln 5
so we have
2 ln 5 - 1 ln 5
which is one ln 5
Isn't log(A/B) = logA - logB ?
so.....
much easier... thanks!!
To condense the expression ln(25) - ln(5), we can apply the logarithmic property of subtraction, which states that the logarithm of a division is equal to the subtraction of the logarithms.
In this case, we have ln(25) - ln(5), which can be written as ln(25/5). Simplifying further, ln(25/5) is equal to ln(5).
Therefore, when condensing the expression ln(25) - ln(5), the answer is ln(5).
